As the fight ended in a very disappointing way, fight fans on the internet didn’t hold back to share their unbiased opinion on the matter.

One user explained that Munhoz was losing the fight so he decided to escape it by calling a DQ.

“@ufc He was losing the fight, best way to get out of it was calling for a DQ. Smart. “

Another user gave the same opinion about Munhoz opting the easy way out of the fight.

“Lol Pedro wanted a way out since the start, I bet he can see perfectly fine, the poke wasn’t even bad.”

A user sarcastically roasted Munhoz for acting and avoiding the fight by faking the eye poke.

“Prelim Pedro with the Oscar performance.”

Another user was sensible and explained that it’s wrong to judge athletes who claim eye poking inside the octagon.

“if we haven’t experienced an eye poke, we shouldn’t really say if someone faked it or not.”

Many users also supported Munhoz and claimed that O’Malley wasn’t winning the bout.

“Y’all saying Pedro wanted a way out lmao a way out of what exactly? Sean wasn’t doing s***.”
